From Stack Overflow question What is the Python 3 equivalent of "python -m SimpleHTTPServer":

SimpleHTTPServer is for python2, so you're getting the error.

In python3, The following works:

python -m http.server [<portNo>]

Because using Python 3, the module SimpleHTTPServer has been replaced by http.server, at least in Windows.
